    Season 4, Episode 9: Ben Rice
    Jun 11 2026
    Ben Rice has been on some kind of magical journey this year, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the league. And as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on this week’s episode, it’s all on account of maniacal levels of preparation, in all facets of the game (and of life). “Ben Arroz” has proven to be uniquely capable of connecting teammates in the clubhouse while also offering the offensive firepower the team needs with Aaron Judge out of the lineup, and he talks about his entire process. Then, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits and Jon chat about the latest news in Yankees universe and even give some thoughts on the NBA Finals.

    Jake Hirst, what is it you would say you do here, exactly? It’s time to meet the Yankees’ newest assistant hitting coach, a guy who might be a newcomer to the big-league staff this year, but one that Yankees players have known well for years.

    Season 4, Episode 4: David Bednar
    Apr 2 2026
    Every moment that a closer is on the mound makes for something of a hot seat, so for David Bednar, sitting down for an interview with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz for the New York Yankees Official Podcast was hardly a challenge worth noting. But still, the Yankees’ closer, who came over in a deadline deal last year, prefers to do his talking on the field. Quiet and mild-tempered, yet quick to laugh, Bednar has been a force out of the bullpen for his new team, and he chats with Schwartz about leaving his hometown squad to pitch for a winner, rising from the depths of the MLB Draft’s 35th round and pitching for Team USA in the last two World Baseball Classics. Plus, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits chats with Jon about the first week of the season, the weather forecasts in the Bronx and much, much more. Lastly, we send it to the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator gets us ready for the home opener with stories about Yankees who hit two blasts in their season debuts.
